Lace at lrondale and tn splendid

j. L. Smith and Mr. Frazier, the en-
glneer, very courteoasly showed us
through the immense iron furnace,
explained the workings of the pom
derous machinery connected there
with, and entertained US generally.
In reply to queries Us to the inten-
tions OF the iron company, Mr.. Smitl.
smiled quietly, and significantly sal
that the venture had been anything
but a failure; that its last run had
been by far the most successful YET,
that they had recently received a
large contract for iron for carwheels,
and that the reputation of their pro
duct was growing splendidly. lie
said the commercial world was Just
finding out what their possibilities
in. iron manufacture amounted to.
He showed us where the Jacket" OF
the furnace would soon be replaced
and detailed some circumstances in
dicating future operations. 1t seems
that a large outlay is to be made al
Texada island, to facilitate the deliv-
cry of ore from the quarry-and it is
pretty definitely known Though Mr.
Smith did not say SOY that rolling
mills will be added to the plant here
At Hadlock we found the saw mill

Complaints from our business men,
about the Phantom being longer per-
naitted to carry the mails from Port
Townsend Though the islands to
Whatcom are becoming loud and
angry. 1t is useless to longer ignore
the tact that the old Phantom is
utterly unfit to perform the service
she Is being made to do 1t has been
under continued and oft-rspeated
statement from the owner and con
tractor that the arrangement was but
temporary; that larger and better
stsamar would soon be placed on the
route, DC. Meanwhile the months
have lengthened into a year, and the
Phantom is still driven over the route
barring an occasional breakdown
and failure. The island trade has
been steadily diverted away from
Port Townsend until there is little or
nons OF it left as relic of former
commercial intercourse-yet we stand
idly by and submit to the outrage on
public interests. The Argus has re-
peatedly referred to The matter, but
thus far no action has been taken.
Now, there seems 10 be a spontane-
Gus movement that viii probably re-
suit in such protest from the board
of trade as well compel a reform.
We are glad TO see a spirit of re-
sentiment against such treatment,
growing among our citizens. Were
they to tamely submit longer they
would not deserve the respect of the
outside would.

MINERS PERILs.
Three Hundred of Them Caught In
Shaft
Into which n Lake suddenly Pours It's Wa

NAxTIcoKE, Pa, Aug. 25.-Terrible ex-
element was caused this morning in the
fatal No. shaft at this place by the break
ing away of earth barriers that separated
worked out portion Of the colliery from
the chambers where mining is in progress,
and the sudden precipitation Of large
body OF water into gangway where over
three hundred miners were at work. For
q long time past huge subterranean
reservoir has been forming, containing
millions OF gallons OF water. This
underground lake was $40 feet below
the surface. The chamber where tho
men were at work was $50 feet further
down, and about the same distance from
the mined galleries. The first intimation
the men had that the mine was being
flooded was the sudden appearance Of
water in the chambers. AS 1t Increased in
depth many hurriedly quit work and
rushed TO the bottom OF the shaft. By this
time a regular exodus from all parts OF
the colliery set in, the miners wading
through water breast high before the
last Of them got out The work Of
rescuing the men was proceeded with
promptly, the steam-carriage taking up
twenty at time. All sorts OF rumors
were set adrift, and the mouth OF the
mine was crowded with anxious women
and children, exhibiting the usual aSrm
and frantic demonstrations. Luckily, all
were taken out safely Ninety mules
perished, Work will be suspended for an
indefinate period, as the water IS still
running in. Had the earth issure been
wide enough TO admit the whole volume
Of water at once not man would have

at all, but was allowed to escape;
that the friends of Bill were per-

when the drop fell the weight Of the body
fell upon an iron hoop, supported by an
appropriate body harness. The coffin,
which was actually buried, contained
nothing but stones. While the last sad

The banks OF the Galena river and

OF dead fish being in sight. There are
numerous theories afoat as to the
cause, One is that the recent rains have
riled tho water with mud, SO that the fish
have been unable TO breathe, and strug-

Another is that during the dry, hot sum

filled with some poisonous growth that,
with the recent foods, was carried into
the streams and poisoned the water.

MEAT FAMINE THRnATnNHD.
Beef to Go as High as when the Cow
jumped Over the Moon.

Jumped Over the Moon.
CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-The Tribune this morn
ing has long article on the dressed beef
ring, and how II Is profiting by the low
price Of cattle. II says IL is assumed in
many quarters that beef famine is not far
away. Estimates as TO the destruction Of
cattle In the Northwest last winter are that
In Montana there were about 40O, 900 head,
In Idaho about 100000, in Wyoming about
10000, In Colorado about 50000; or $4,000
ip all, During the summer on account Of
the excessive drought, II is estimated that
the losses in the beef producing States,
such as Illinois, Iowa, Ohio, Missouri Kan
sas and in New Mexico, Texas, Minnesota,
Nebraska and Dakota, swell the total TO
900 head Of beeves. Many, however,
assert that these figures are far
too high. But this 10 not the main
fact which Indicates future famine.
II is now known that from 50 to 70 per
cent. less OF calves were born this spring
than Is usual, owing TO climatic causes,
which must have its effect in time. To this
must be added the fact that cattle pro-
ducers have been rushing their sur
viving stock on the market at an un-
PARALLEL rate, and that from these
and other causes many ranchmen are dis
couraged aud going out Of tho business.
These who arc opposed TO this view argue
that there are still 2s0OO,0OO beeves
and 100000 mich cows in the country.
The bulk Of these, however, enter into
local consumption and use. A great un.
easiness, such as never before character.
lied the cattle business, is manifest in
business circles. The producer finds moi
dollar OF profit and more often heavy
losses charged against his account. The
market price has been low on account oi
the glut, for in Chicago alone over 2OO,Oot

unIque Accident.

WHEELING, Aug. A.-This afternoon a
boy named Clary was holding target rife
on the reunion grounds, when it was acci-
dentally discharged. The ball, OF only
22-caliber, pierced entirely through the
fieshy part of the leg Of a boy Of ten,
named Norwood Richardson, and then
continued its course, striking Joe Griener,
boy OF about the same age, in the back
between the shoulders, injuring the spine
and piercing one lung, causing fatal
injuries. The accident is unique when the
trifiing missile is considered
